Amid accusations that a low-level mage cast forbidden magic on Lord Ivan Volkov, his allies insist he bears no legal responsibility and demand evidence. Ivan is provisionally allowed to join the royal heir trial, which begins with a mission to find proof of Mikhail Chernyshov's secret allegiance to the Fallen City and its rising dragon army. As the trial kicks off, Ivan challenges his partners to secure this evidence without him. Meanwhile, a plan emerges to infiltrate Mikhail’s estate disguised as noble daughters competing to become his dance partner at an upcoming royal ball, setting up a risky covert operation.
